I was wondering if the Gabba is too warm for me, did seem quite thick when I looked at one on a rare visit to a stockist; it seemed like a more generous fit than the Perfetto too i.e. I was a M in the Gabba, but L in the Perfetto to get the race fit. I'm normally an M in most brands, but L in Castelli.

I think I'm going to go for a Perfetto Convertible, as the prices are really good now online (as low as 109.99).

What do you guys do during the winter for bike training? Man up and get out there or is it time for the turbo?

Both. Winter is for getting strong. I always try to do my weekend rides outside, unless it is dangerous to do so. My bike week looks something like this at the moment. Hardly any of it is over 85% HR (Just getting back into Tri, so Sprint & occasional Oly next year.)

My background is cycling, so this is quite normal...I want to keep it up in case I get fed up with Tris again..!

I also do 3 swims and 3 runs. I also try to get in 2 quality gym sessions unless its been a hard week. I suppose I avg around 15-18hrs per week through the winter. Some may find this a bit high, but I enjoy it and its where I feel happy at. I work from home a lot so have loads of recovery time.
